VIENIDOW-SCREEN BRACKET.

To all whom it may concern.-

lie it known that I, Fnnnnicn J. WARNER, citizen of the United States, residing at Memphis, in thecounty of Shelby and State of Tennessee, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window-Screen B nckets, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to window screen brackets of the class ill/Which the bracket is suitably secured to a screen to form the means by which the screen is removably hung position.

The objects of my invention are to provide such a bracket whereby the screen may be securely and detachably hung in position and which bracket can be so attached as to either a screen adapted to cover the area left open when a lower window sash raised or screen adapted to cover the entire a of the window frame.

ese objects in view, my invention is embodied in preferable form in the device er described and illustrated in the drawings, Figue is a perspecthe bracket; an end view; view showing the bracket used on n covering the space left open when e ower sash is raised; Fig. t a view showthe br cltet used on a screen covering the area of the window frame; Fig. a cetail perspective of the bracket as used in ig. 3 with the screen mostly broken away; i g. a detail perspective of the bracketnsed in Fig. i showing the connecting hook member, a portion of the window frame and a portion of the screen; Fig. 7 a detail sectional view of the bracket as used in Fig. 5 showing a portion of the screen, the connecting hook member and a portion of the window frame, and Fig. 8, a view of a modified form of bracket.

fieferring to the drawings, 1 represents the bracket which is made of a fiat piece of thin metal, 2 and 3, arms at right angles to each other and 4: a curved brace arm integral with plate 53, which arms form a substantially triangular structure. Extending from arm 3 whose outer edge lies flush with the outer edge of the side arm of the screen frame, is a plate 7 preferably integral bent at right angles thereto andadapted to rest flat against the outer edge 5 of the screen 6. The plate '3 provided with a pin- Specification of Letters Patent.

engaging slot 8, the edges of which coincide Patented Jan. in into.

with the edges of a slot or recess 9 formed in the screen frame. The slots extend'diag' onally upward and terminate in a semi-circular portion 10. The upper edge of the arm 2 lies flush with the top edge .11 of the screen frame and has projecting upwardly therefrom and preferably integral therewith a slotted plate 12, the slot being designated by 13. The bracket is made of malleable metal and is preferably secured flat against the screen frame b y means of pins or screws 14:. When the brackets are secured to a screen which is adapted to be hung on the side pins so as toclose merely the space of the lower sash as in Fig. 3, the slotted plate is bent horizontally flat against the upper edge 11 of the screen frame to brace the same. in this arrangement the screen is hung merely by the engagement of the slots 8 and 9 with pins or nails 15 driven into the window frame. In this screen the lower rail of the upper sash bears against tlie'inner face of the upper rail of the screen frame so there will be no opening above the screen.

As used on a screen as shown in Figs.

l, 3 and 7, the screen is hung so that the slot plates by means of slots 13 will en a e and I hang on hook members 16 secured to the window frame.

plate prevents any obstruction to a close The slight thickness of the.

fitting of the screen frame against the interior of the window frame.

' It has been found unsatisfactory to hang the larger size screen in the same manner as I prefer to hang the screen of Figs. 3 and 5 owing to the.specific shape of the slot, as a space would be left between the upper edge of the screen and the lower edge of the upper rail of the window frame because the semicircular termination of the slot is situated above the entrance to the slot and the screen has to drop slightly so that the semi-circular portion of the slot may hang on the pin.

Referring to Fig. 8, the bracket is made of malleable metal as before and the entire bracket is formed flat. Plate 17 corresponds to plate 7 of the other figures and the slot plate '18 corresponds t slot plate 12 of the other views. The plate 17 may be bent at a right angle to the arm 19 in either of the brecke iis made and shewn in the othez Views s ecia'l right and left hand, brackets have is be enm'ioyed.
